Not hush, but thought I’d ask here first, may start a new thread later if I feel brave enough. Can any of you give me some advice/pointers as to what I need to carry this off. As you know, I have severe alopecia and a shaved head (actually not looking TOO bad at the moment as I’ve had some recovery so have a light dusting of Velcro fuzz over most of my head). Hairline is shot though. Anyhow, although I love wigs and find them very comfy, no way I am wearing them abroad in 35+ heat. My husband (bless him), thinks I look hot with a shaved head, so no worries there, and I do sometimes go out without hair in the uk. Never at work as it distracts people, but I will pop to the shops etc without hair if I feel like it. However, I do need to be careful not to look ill - so while no hair is an option, no hair and no make up really isn’t.
So to get to the point (yes, there is one!), can anyone suggest any of the following:
Great sunglasses that will work with a bald head
Cheapish holiday bling esp earrings and necklaces - prefer white metal to yellow.
Small cross body bag in a summer colour
Hats (not the caps sold charmingly as ‘cancer hats’, and not baseball hats because of the ear issue when there is no hair)
Sunscreen for scalps (anyone with a bald DP? Mine is but because of a previous pre-cancerous lesion on his scalp, never takes his baseball hat off on holiday, so doesn’t use sunscreen on his head)
You all know the entire contents of my wardrobe, I’m 5’7 and size 10-14 depending on store. Huge boobs. I would say my build is medium to large, I’ve never been petite even in my very slim days. I’m looking at myself in my holiday clothes and without hair I know I need something to pull the look together, but I’m hopeless at identifying what. I could easily go out and spend 50 quid in accessorise and still wouldn’t look right. Please tell me what I need!
